Commonly expressed with pride and a definite tone of self-righteousness on this and other officials' boards as "I'm not a robot..."

As to the several shades of heather gray, I'm sure some of what you saw were dress slacks (I even once saw a somewhat corpulent female umpire wearing skin tight capris), but I have a couple of older pairs of actual umpire pants that have faded to a brownish gray that has kind of a pink tinge to it. Now THOSE are attractive!
